Why Simplicity is Key w/Karen Cooper

28 minutes

There's a tendency to believe that achieving success is complicated, but as most successful people will attest, simplicity is the best way forward. How can simple approaches help you reach tremendous heights in your business? Can you apply simple ideas to practical manifestation?

On this episode, I talk with industry veteran Karen Cooper to hear how she’s put surprisingly simple tactics into practice to great effect.

Takeaways + Tactics

Be consistent. If you want to grow your business you need to have a consistent approach, whether in communication with clients or systems used in-office.

Confidence is key. You can boost your confidence levels by making sure you’re constantly dealing with potential clients- even the non-serious clients. Take every interaction as a learning opportunity.

Commit to a new morning ritual over a 30-day period. This is how you’ll build new habits and instill self-confidence.

At the start of the episode, Karen explained the importance of investing in your business. That investment should come not only in the form of finance, but your time and energy. With that said, Karen also shared that the time you spend should allow you to build systems that mean you do less work as your business levels up.

We also discussed:

That the position you’re good at now will be easily replaced by someone else when you scale your business

How your time in-between transactions should be spent on creating systems

Why systems are the only way forward

For the most part, our inability to reach our goals lies in our mindsets. Whether that be because of a lack of self-confidence, or insufficient motivation, we have the power to prove ourselves correct. The great news is, we also have the power to prove ourselves correct when we tell ourselves we can do something. Stop telling yourself you can’t reach new heights or complicate the process. Take the journey to success back to basics and make good on new rituals.
